Backstory

Of course I knew I'd get the letter to go to Hogwarts, I'm pureblood, my Dad was ecstatic though when I got it, as if it was his first time hearing about Hogwarts, he was ready to go to Diagon alley straight away. The Diagon alley trip wasn't anything special, I had been down there over a million times already with my Mum, Dad and eager, younger sister. But getting my wand was a totally different story, it was quite possibly the best experience of my life. I ended up with a Larch wood with Unicorn hair 12 1/4" wand, which has unyielding flexibility. I'm the first to end up in Slytherin in my family, which was a serious surprise to everyone, but I didn't disappoint in Slytherin, I'm top of my class! Coming to Hogwarts from Australia was a really big jump though, it took me a while to adjust from the crazy weather of home to the cold, wet weather of England. I'm happy here though, Hogwarts is a real home, and I wouldn't give it up for anything.
